sambar powder |
- Roast coriander seeds.
- Then roast dals separately.
- Roast curry leaves.
- Roast all the remaining spices (except haldi).
- Let the roasted spices cool down.
- Grind all spices together.
- Add haldi.
- Some sambar recipes use dry coconut as well.
- If you want, you can add 4 tsp dry coconut powder to the sambar masala. I did not add coconut.
The authentic sambar masala recipes use coconut.
I prefer to add fresh coconut along with sambar powder to the recipe.
Sambar is a delectable blend of vegetables and lentils. It is a health food, since it uses little oil and is a blend of boiled vegetables.
